Interesting facts
- The game is banned in Vietnam because of the level of Napalm Man, where the hero ran in caves that cite underground Viet Cong refuges, and the boss's name reminds of dropping napalm on residents.
- Stage of the boss boss Gravity Man is unusual due to the fact that most of the level Mega Man goes upside down. There is only one such level in the NES.
- Star Man robot boss stage has low gravity. After you destroy him, you get not only the Star Block from him, but also the Super Shot, with which you can fly on it and attack enemies at the same time.
